Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs with Pimento Cheese.

That’s two of my favorite things- bacon and pimento cheese.

Next to Southern Slaw Dogs, it is my favorite way to deck out hot dogs.

The bacon gets wrapped around the hot dogs. You’ll need to secure it with toothpicks (soak them in water first so they don’t catch fire) and be sure not to wrap the bacon tightly. The bacon will shrink as it cooks.

A little time on the grill and the bacon gets fabulously crispy.

Place them in hot dog buns. Be sure to take out the toothpicks. 🙂

Quite frankly, they’re delicious just as is with a squirt of mustard or ketchup. But if you want something a little different and a little more southern, slather them with pimento cheese. Be sure to do this right when the hot dogs come off the grill. You want the heat from the hot dogs to melt the pimento cheese. Then you’ll have a blanket of warm, gooey cheese on top!
